Written in permanent marker on the back of Melbridge Dock, are the words "7 seagulls". Pretty soon after the layout appeared at shows, people took to counting how many of the birds were on the model, and so I jotted it down so we didn't have to remember. Later, when the information boards were added to the front, seagulls became part of the spotting list. Remembering this, I checked how many gulls were on show, and there were six. Disaster!Fortunately, in the bolt box, there is a little jar of details. I keep these handy in case something is damaged, and we need to stick a box or pallet over it. In there was a seagull, who was quickly superglued to a rooftop. I'm not sure if anyone counted over the weekend, but at least if they didn't, the numbers were correct. Oh, and if you are interested, the 4mm scale birds are whitemetal models from the Springside range.
